Many instructors across the institute implement a reflective technique called MUD cards. During the last 3-5 minutes of class, instructors distribute index cards or half-sheets of paper and have students anonymously reflect on the "muddiest" point from lecture.
Another common MUD card prompt is to have students reflect on the most important point(s) from the lecture. This encourages students to actively process what happened during class and reflect on their understanding.
Students hand in the MUD cards before leaving class, allowing the instructor to review them and address muddy points in the next class meeting, in office hours, or electronically. The following set of questions can be printed 2/page in landscape orientation.
